An Arctic Monkeys & Tame Impala collab is on the cards

Alex Turner and Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys were featured in Beats 1 with host Matt Wilkinson last weekend, at the Osheaga Festival.

Halfway into the interview, Wilkinson found out that Turner & Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker are both flirting with the idea of a sick collaboration. “Let’s float, Kev,” said Alex. Was that his way of asking Parker to push through with the collaboration? “Yeah, I just said it twice—I’d float with Kev.”

Now that we know it’s not impossible, we’re pretty convinced that this team up may come sooner…Like, hopefully, sooner than soon.

Turner and Helders did also mention that they were actually thinking of releasing a follow-up to their freshest effort Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. However, the frontman admitted that there’s pretty much nothing in store for us at the moment; he doesn’t have anything written yet. “Hopefully Kevin would be floating in there somewhere,” Turner said wittingly. “I think he’s brilliant, no doubt about that.”
